New analysis of ONS data shocked people
Startling new research has revealed how much time you have left to live in the UK depending on where you stay.
The study, led by care professionals Guardian Carers, analyzed ONS data to reveal how long people in the UK are expected to live from age 40.
Their findings, which a company spokesperson described as “relevant”, revealed the shocking difference in life expectancy between those living in the north and south of the UK.
Both men and women are expected to live longer if they live in London, and the top three areas for life expectancy are in the British capital.
However, cities such as Glasgow, Manchester and Liverpool were in the last ten.
According to the results of the study, there is a life expectancy difference of more than ten years between a 40-year-old woman living in Kensington and Chelsea and a woman living in Glasgow.
On average, women living in the high-end areas of London are expected to live an additional 48.64 years, while a Glaswegian woman has a life expectancy of just 39.33 years.
The City of Glasgow was also the worst city for male life expectancy: Westminster has an average of 45.49 years ahead of a 40-year-old, while its Glasgow counterpart has just 34.76 years.
These results point to “major problems in social, economic or health-related factors,” the researchers said.

Tina Woods, CEO of Business for Health, told MailOnline: “We’re not talking about a difference of a few months here; There are years stripped from people’s lives, and that’s because of regional health inequalities and income deprivation.
“Decreased life expectancy occurs when people have limited access to healthcare, experience a lower standard of care, and engage in more risky health-related behaviors such as smoking.
“Many of these factors are influenced by broader determinants such as income, housing, environment, transport, education and work, so tackling health inequalities requires an understanding of the interplay of these factors to help implement measures and effective support systems in place.”
